Oat -FANS, Dec. 3.- , --there has lately bap wit .•,! hese a plienonwnon not.uncommon of late ; a tall of atroocperic itoneß, abow one p. m. a very part was Ip:•ar.i Source, like the explosion po r or the firing several )ud of it 1 cannon of large calibre. AU Orleans heard and noticed the report, which occasioned a number of false conjeCturts, but a report was soon spread, that sore stones had fallen in she CoMmune of Char sonville, and Canton of Meung. A memoir has since • been read _on the subje&, bar M. Pellier, .physician at Beaugency, before the Physical Society at Orleans, and the Prefect has caused the most exaB accounts to be taken of the phenomenon. From these- we learn, that there ap peared in the Commune of Charsonville a brilliant , ball of fire, which burst with a tremendous explo sion, and let fall three large stones, accompanied with somke, and darted with such force that they entered the earth to the depth of near 80 centimeters. One of these is covered with a cross of greyish black, while the inside, is more clear. It is very compaa, and hard enough to cut glass. It appears to contain glo bules et iron, pretty large and brilliant. SPANISH PAPERS. CADIZ, DEC. 8. The Marquis de Campoverde, in a letter dated the 22.1 of o,‘,lober, from Cardona, gives an account of the remit of an at.iion which he maintained on the clay before against the whole of the enemy's force commanded by lgasshalMacdonald. Frain the let ter it appears, that the enemy had matched a ce luints of 3000 men on the rend to Salsona, and an other by the road of Milagro, to both of which the Spanish troops opposed a strong resistance in the course of the day 5 . but at last towards night General Campoverde ord,:red a retreat Cordona, leaving two battalions in advance to watch the progress of the army. Our loss 'has been very small in conva rison wi►h that of the enemy,, many of their dead •being found in the mountains. Our loss has been only three officers and five soldiers killed, thirty -three, wounded, one made prisoner, and two horses killed. • EDEVBOt6ii, DEG QS FircHLANns At4D(lsr4:s.'eS cAr:oc(efeANn.'---We uuMstand that the - Many thousands et - our cowry men in the isles and Highlands, •r , ho'are unable io read, have engaged theatteei,lar of t:te public. A nu merous and very respeEtable meeting of the inhabi= tants of this city (c.eled together by circular letters) was held,. on Wedtiesda4 in the rooms, Royal Exchange Coffee-house. the object proposed is to teach this people to peruse the Gaelic Scriptures, which have been translated ded printed for their • express use. Several resolutions were read to the meeting, expressive of regard for those long-con•. tinued and laudable exertions in the Highlands which have been made by ,the Society for Propagat.. ins Christian Knowledge, specifying, at the same time, the deplorable ignorance of those parts which they lime been unable to embrace, (many thousands and large' destricts being atilt UnpioVided with any means of instructroe), and pointing put finally the steps necessary to be taken in such . a state of thingS. Some of the gentlemen then stated various very painful chcemsiances relative to different parts of the Highiand. and Hebrides, when the meeting (betoie adopting any liesoluttoos) unanimously ap pointed a committee of their nuo , ber, (amounting to 24), which, in addition to the knowledge they already possess, shall Ue open to the reception tit further information, and shall embody the evidence on this important subject, in a report to be presented at the next general meeting. . Ai soon as these mealUres shall terminate-in a de finite and arranged plan, a benevolent public will certainly no longer p&mit such a large and merito rious:proportion of ,British 'subjeCts to linger so tar b;-.liind in the progress of civilization, and to tie by among. the refuse of our species ; a state in which they must continue to remain, -so long as they are unacqunint,ed even with the use of'itters. AGRICULTURE, &c. MONTHLY REPORT FOR DECEMBER. The continued heavy rains have afforded but little variation in the eouise'of husbandry throughout the month. The low land Wheats,_ except where re lieved by good water-farming, have suffered mate rially by this ungenial weather. The leys broke up to: eztly Beaus, Pease, and Oats, iii most distrias, must probably remain unsown, from the same cause, for some .time to come. The Turnip Se.ed con tinges growing abundantly. Towards the close of the mouth, the land, though a sharp frost began, thereby enabling the husbandman, at this late period, . to commence carrying out his - manure on the yonng lovers' and other lands in course of. dressing.—. Smithfield Market has ,been well supplied with Beef and _Mutton at advanced Christmas prices ; the primest of the former fetching Gs. 6d. and the latter tis. - per stone. Little or nothing has been done in the sale of Lean Stock since our last. The Wool, Markets remain stationary and - fiat at last mouth's . prices. • Between three and four o'clock in the evening of the 21st instant, about three hours before the time of high water, a vessel was observed close in shore, a little to tile west of Redness Point, near Whitehavtn, in a very dangerous situation, for by this time the-tempest had increased to a hurricane. ' Crowdi of people hastened to the spot ; numbers of lanterns were shewn; and several fires kindled amongst the rocks. The unfortunate men (ten in number) on board the vessel were distindlt seen at intervals ; but the roaring of the wind and the waves was so great, that nothing else could be heard nor • could any assistance whatever be- given. The ves sel had grounded with tier head to the sea, and had two anchors out. Atter a most awful • and afflit:ting suspense, a little - before nine •'cock she went to pieces ; and, painful to relate, all on boar&perish-: ed, except one man, who was washed on shore, lashed to a part of the stern ! She proved to be the Sarah Carmont, of 'and for Liverpool; from Ame rica, laden' with.tiMber, and had been thirteen weeks _ tivOrl the passage; The pet son who escaped in this fatal- accident was a seaman on board, and - is a na tive of Sweden.

BOVe:STREBTAT a late hour 011 Friday night, John Bowles, 114 man in custody on a charge of murdering his wife at his lodging in Etrl-street, Seven Dial!„ on Wednesday night, underwent an other examination before Mr. Ames ; when, in addit:on to the circnmstances we stated on Satur day, it appeared that when he went to fetch the de ceased trom the liquor-shop, he fotinJ her in company with a woman to whom he had a great aversiGn ; he slapped both their faces, and made his wife go home. When she gut to the bottom of the stairs she ref Used to go pp ; he said he would break her neck; some neighbours eittleas,:ered to persuade her to go up stairs, but . she declined, saying she was afraid. The prisoner at length carried her up stairs, and when begat her into their own apartment, he beat her, knocked her •down, kicked and stamped upon her. Their daughter, about ten yeats of age, entreated him not to Leg her mother any more ; he, however, continued his ill treatment till some neighbours came and prevailed on. him to desist. The deceased was supposed to be in-a tat; the pri soner got her up, put her into a chair, and then on a bed. A woman who vas present stt..petted the de ce4sed was dead, arid per-uaded the prisonei- to go for a Doctor. On his artiv,il he put a looking-glaSs tO her mouth, and pronoun, ed her deade The prisoner in his detence said he-was intoxicat ed,and cl:d not recollea any thing beTrad done. One of the witnesses .heing asked as to the state of the prisoner with respect to liquor, replied he was betwixt and between."

GUILDFIALL..-00 Saturday Judith Malony was charged by Mr. Puri,. a tobatconi,t, with at tempting to pass as genuine three different shil lings,- all of which were counterfejt., pH send, ing for an officer to take her into custody, the prisoner was oberved.tO swallow five other pieces of a similar dtscription. She was ordered to be re manded till Monday, and the Solicitor to the Mini, in the mean time, to be made acquainted with the circumstances of litr case. Three several complaints were made before the Sitting Alderman (Sir James Shat) by differeio Gentlemen residing in various parts of the City, against the porters belonging to the -While Horse, Fetter-lane, for over-charges made for the convey. .rinee. of packages- coming by "the coaches which ar rived at that Inn. 'lire over-charge consisted in an article of twopence, f,r warehouse room, which, the' worthy --Alderman informed the persons com plained upon. they . tniist h.:ve been aware, at the time of making it wai boing itt the very fac e. of the Ad of t'Srliainent, t.vhieo dieted that charge for warehowiug souuld be Made-only - where the package was direled to .beleft•till called for. • In every other respect; where the package Was ,addr,tss ed to the house of the person by whom' it was to be received, an allowance .wa's to.be•madefor porter age,•according to the distance, but • no charge what- - ever was allowed to. be made forwarehousing. •It watiachnitted, even by the persons now com plained upon, that,afor .two years, at •least; there had been a constant practice Of making this illegal , charge. It would not, therefore, be deemed at all surprising that be• now imposed on the'persons so offending the full -penalty cf 2us. expecting.and in tending that it should operate as.'a warning to all persons in this Situation, to abstain in fumre from any such charge. He, thereLre,- ondeted, in the case of a' complaint made by Mr. Bellamy, of • `Trinity-square, that the porter who now appeared to answer a charge brought against him, for extort . ing beyond the usual charge for catriage and por terage, the sum of 2d. for warehouse room, do pay for such over-charge the full penalty of 205..; and that, on non-payment of such - Line, lie be committed to.prison. .The porter begged, that, as he had only obeyed or ders, •and had accounted for what he received, his master might bituseit be summoned to answer to the charge. He should be sorry to disobey the worthy Alderman, but stillle must resist the payment' of the fine, •it ultimately' imposed. - He was advised that this , was an -;..Act regulating porterage _alone, and not at all relating to penalties for any`other over-charge., The worthy Alderman (Sir James Shaw) had no doubt that the person now complained of had the best adviee, and that it was intended that this ques tion should be carried farther.. He was anxious that every thing should 'be done in the most regular manner, that, it brought before the Quarter Ses sions, the question might receive a satisfaetory, de cision. • - With this view, it was agreed - that-the Master of the .Inn should be summoned, and that an intrirma— tion in writing should be lodged, under the clause: in. the Aat of Parliament relating to the point in question.
